Senator Fair, OF Nevada, is the subject
of good deal of gossip just at present.
His term in the Senate will end in a few
days, and it is not improbable that he
will never seek office again. He does not
appear to have talent for politics, and
would never have been a member of the
Senate, perhaps, If it hadn't been for a
desire for the honor attached to the office.
Notwithstanding the fact that he has
never made a speech during the six years
that he has been in the Senate. and prob
ably don't know and don't care as much
about most OF the great questions which
Congress is required to discuss as any
one of the Senate's doorkeepers, he is
nevertheless one OF the most popular men
IN public life in Washington. The secret
of his popularity is the dinners he
gives. They are simply superb, and the
Senators and representatives. who think
as much of a good dinner as they do OF any,
thing else in life are expressing deep re-
greet that MIR. Fairs public career has
come to an end. "We shall never" they
say, ''eat such dinners as Fair provides
when he has ceased to be part of Wash
ington's official lite.'
Senator Fair is not dull man by any
means, and the possession OF, $40 200, 900
or $50,00O,0O0 does not make him think
that he Is entitled to more consideration
than those VINO nave only sufficient in
come to secure the ordinary comforts of
life. He is perhaps the best mining en-
gineer in the world, and mis- judgment re.
specting the value of mines is regarded
as equal, if not superior, to that OF any
other man in the country. He is much
happier when knocking about in the
mines OF Nevada or California, dressed in
a miners suit, than he is in hls seat in
the Senate.
Although he fills less space, perhaps,
in the Congressional Record than any
other man who ever occupied a place in
the Senate, he will be succeeded by 9
Senator who doubtless will do more talk.
than half dozen Senators ought to. Mr..
Stewart has already served twelve years
in the Senate, and it is said that he talked
more than Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
does now, though not half 30 well. If he
still has the talking faculty he and Mr..
Morgan may have the Senate chamber to
themselves a good part of the time.

qhe Oid and the New south.

While there can be no objection to the
use of the term ''The New South - it is a
question whether there is any more occa-
sion for it than there is for calling Mas
sachusetts "The New Massachusetts"
1t is true that very remarkable changes
have taken place in the South since the
war between the States, but the same is
true with respect to Massachusetts. 1t
is a well-known fact that the people of
Massachusetts are rapidly losing those
characteristics which distinguished the
people OF the New England States from
the people OF tire Middle aud Southern
States. The native population has largely
emigrated to the West, and its place has
been taken by foreign population. The
lands of the State are gradually passing
into the hands OF foreign born people,
and many OF those entrusted with public
offices are either foreign born or are
separated from them only by a genera.
ton.
AT the Inauguration OF the Southern
Society dinner in New York Tuesday
night, the presiding officer, Mr.. Sullivan,
in the course of his remarks, said: "We
meet with the spirit and hopes of the new
South" Doubtless the majority of the
Southerners who were present belong to
what Mr.. Sullivan would call 1.-THE Old
| South"
Senator Colquitt on the same evening
attended a dinner given by the Young
Mems Democratic. Club of Brooklyn, and
ne was asked TO reply to the toast OF "The
New South" Hevery properly said that
the name OF New South was only new

was as old as any other section of the
country.

1t begins 70 look as II there would be
no surplus TO dispose OF when this Con-
gress gets through making sppropria-
tons. The regular appropriation bills
have steadily grown larger Tor nearly a
dozen years. ard those of the present
year are fully So, O0o, 600 more than those
OF ten years ago.
The present Congress has con-
sidered bills, outside OF those carrying
the regular appropriations, which appro-
pirate between 500. 900 600 and $500, OO0,-
coo. While only one OF these bills has
become law-thst providing pensions for
Mexican Yeterans-there are others OF
them which stand very good
chance Of passing. All OF them
have passed either the House or the
Senate, and the dependent pension
bill has passed both branches of Congress
and now awaits action on the veto. If
the President hadn't vetoed this bill it
would have taken, it is estimated, ST4,-
GOO, 900 year out of the Treasury. The
House to-day will decide whether or not
the veto shall be respected.
1t Is admitted that appropriations for
new guns, new ships and coast defenses
should be made, but there are protests
from every part of the country against
the dependent pension bill. Even the
Republican papers and some Grand Army
posts are opposed TO it, and desire that
the veto shall be sustained. The House
Committee on Invalid Pensions, however,
Is unanimously in favor OF passing the
bill over the veto, and 1t may succeed in
carrying its point. There ought to be
men enough in Congress, however, with
sufficient courage to vote against it.
The aim OF the Republican Congress-
men is apparently to put the Democrats
in the position OF opposing pensions, aud
that is why they are so eager 10 force a
vote on the question whether or not the
veto shall be sustained. The Democrats
hesitate to meet the issue presented by
the claim agents and Republican dema-
gOgues squarely, and it would not be at
all surprising if the veto were disregarded
in the House. There is one thing pretty
certain, and that Is that the bill cannot
be passed in the Senate over the veto.
II the bill should be passed. however,
and also all the other pending bills which
appropriate large amounts of money,
such as the Blair educational
bill, the bills for guns, ships,
Notifications, and for arrears of pensions,
the next Congress would in all proba-
bility have deficiency rather than a
surplus to deal with.

First Love.

An angel blessed my childhood days,
A singer she of cultured lays.
Upon the Broadway boards;
At matinees | used to be,
And flung my heart upon the sea
OF wild resoundlng chords.
She always wore a robe of white,
Her cheeks were red. her curls were quite
AS golden as my own;
My memory this sorrow brings
| wept because she had no wings,
And had none to loan.
Old Time sped on my life too fleet;
What though he brought funds for the seat
Much nearer to my saint,
When with it came the knowledge bleak.
The blushings of her dimpled cheek,
Were nothing more than paint!
I've seen the ocean foam and swell.
I've heard the tempest shrek and knell
For mate and sailor lad;
1t never thrilled me, like the storm
OF anguish. when l learn her form
Comprised the cotton pad.
Yet smile not at the solemn truth,
Which wisdom brought my fading youth -
My passion soon defiled.
My love IN worship as a man,
Alas! Alas! l never can
Revere her as a child.

Protection in The South.

The protection journals st the North
continue to insist that the protection idea
is spreading in the South. That is because
they want it to spread, and not because
they have any proof that it is spreading.
The Philadelphia Press, for instance,
says that the South is veerIng around to
protection principles, and in support of
this assertion quotes from the Birming-
nam, Ala, Age, Snd declares that nearly
all OF the leading southern journals dis
sent from the course pursued by Speaker
Carlisle in refusing special
favOrs to the advocates OF the bill for the
reduction OF the tobacco tax. Indeed, the
Press is inclined to think that this action
of the Speaker will cause a break in the
Democratic ranks on the tariff question.
II the Philadelphia Press aud other pro-
lection journals at the North are so sure
that the South is gradually becoming
converted to protection why do they not
publish a few opinions gathered from the
leading manufacturers OF this and other
Southern States, and of public men who
are in position to know what Southern
sentiment is but who are not interested
in any business which they think protec-
| ton will beneht. 1t has been stated time
and time again that the Presi-
| dents OF some OF the largest
cotton factories in this State do
not favor high protective tariff. They
1 believe that a low tariff would not only
stimulate cotton manufacturing in the
South, but would enable the products OF
I L. 70 at 5rn
ducts of England's mills in the markets
of South America.
No prominent Southern journal, with
| one exception, has become an advocate
| of protection within the last few years.
The New Orleans papers have always
been sort OF nalf and half, owing 10 the
sugar interest IN Louisiana. If it were
not for that interest it is doubtful If there
would be much protection talk heard in
that State.
But Of the whole press of the South how
| much OF it is in favor OF protection? A
very small part of it. In this ana other
| Southern States the country press is
| almost entirely on the side of tariff re.
form. These papers are close to the
masses, and they express the sentiments
of the communities ia which they are
published.
The Macon Telegraph a few days ago
pointed to It's own prosperous condition
as an indication that protection senti-
ments find favor in this State. 1t is proba-
bic that it would be just as prosperous ii
ii advocated tariff reduction. 1t has the
merit TO succeed even If it doesn't always
! express sentiments in harmony with
those of a majority of its readers. Repre-
sent atiye Blount, of the Macon district, is
pretty good tariff reformer, and il the
voters Of that district agree with the
| Telegraph rather than with Mr.. B.ount,
why don't they send an out and out pro-
tectlonist to Congress-? The chances are
that the Telegraph wouldn't make much
Roadway in trying to defeat the able Rep.
resentative of the Sixth district.
No, the protection idea is not spreading
IN the South. and If there is break in the
ranks of the Democratic party it will not
be caused by the spread of that idea in
| this portion or the Union.

Frances War Pigeons.
From the Esao York Sun.


Gen. Boulanger has recently given prizes
to the best trainers of carrier pigeons in the
department OF the Seine. Pigeon training in
France has become q branch of the military
service, and plenty of well-trained birds are
TO be found In the costly and beautiful little
establishments that have been built for them.
They are furnished with modern mprove-
ments and Injuries that vulgar and ignorant
pigeons could never appreciate. Among the
pigeons now in the possession of the govern
ment are several veterans of the siege of
Paris, and one among them is a genuine old
hero. In 1870 this Oird was taken up IN the
Paris balloon called the Niepce, and was cap
tured by the PTussians. Prince Frederick
Charles sent him as a present TO his mother,
the Princess Charles of Prussia. who put him
among her own collection of birds, where he
was treated with all possible kindness. But
he was a patriot. The bitter bread of exile
did not agree with him. He flew away and
reached his home in a pigeon ouse IN the
boulevard Clchy. The owner of this estab-
lishment handed him over to the military au-
thorities, and he is now once more in the ser
vice OF his native country, and doubtless
hopes to win additional glory in the futur..

Game and vermin in Prussia.

From tho LOndon Times.
Some interesting information is published
with regard to the quantity of game and ver-
min killed in Prussia during the year ending
March 81. 1885. The value OF the game killed
Is estimated at SO. 000, coo, and this sum would
have been much rmaller but for the untirng
vigilance of the officials of woods and forests
and Of keepers employed by the various hold
ers of land and shooting, who killed in the
year l40,2s9 head Of yermin and 1891
birds OF prey.
The vermin comprised S4,3Ol foxes. q ,1OS
stoats, 2S,57S weasels, SAB martens, 5 ,375
polecats, 5.05l badgers, 4 ,092 offers and 900
wlld cats. Up to the present time crows and
d agpies have not been ranked as birds OF
prey, but they will be in future, as it is found
that they do an enormous amount Of damage.
There are very few wolves in Prussia, only
four having been killed, ana it is curious
fact that the German wolves seem to have
followed the German army almost en- masse
INTO france during the winter of 1870, and to
nave remained there. In the provinces Of
Alsaee and Lorraine the number of wolves
killed during the year was 81, in addition to

The promoters of the trade dollar
scheme insist that the government will
not have to redeem more than S., 900, 900
or Sc, 200, 900 of the trade dollars, since the
bill limits the time in which they can be
presented to six months.
1t is stated that there are 35, 000, 900 of
them in circulation. In view OF the fact
that they are worth only about soc. on
the dollar, and can be obtained at that
price, it would not be at all surprising if
the greater part of them were offered for
redemption before the six months expire.
The President has a good reason for We
toing this bill. AS it originally passed
the Senate, the recoinage of these silver
dollars was not to be independent of the
silver coinage OF 50, 000, 900 month author.
lied by the silver coinage law. The House,
however, insisted upon an amendment
which increases the silver coinage TO the
extent to which these trade dollars NAV
be presented. The amendment was agreed
to by the Senate. The latter body was so
afraid, apparently, that the spectators
in trade dollars wouldn't succeed in their
speculation that it was ready to agree to
almost anything. The President isn't as
friendly to the silver dollar as the silver
ties would like him to be, and he may
deem II mis- duty TO send this trade dollar
bill back to Congress with his objections
to IL.
